I recommend doing 2 weeks of final exam review and administering a final exam first week of June. Analyze results with
students to identify weaknesses and strengths and students with below 70% must retake final exam during finals week.
Students who perform above will begin learning material for Math III (mostly independently or with video stations),
while the other group does intensive review with teacher. Finals week students either take final exam (last chance) or
short Math III quiz/test (open notes if you like).
